Escape was just the beginning. The sensational “gays in space” webcomic/graphic novel returns, with new faces, long-awaited reunions, higher stakes, and more thrilling action!

Pan has finally escaped her dead-end planet, piecing together a new sort of family with the rebel gladiators Bee and Cass and the mysterious hacktivist Kate. They’ve even rescued a princess… But what if this princess has her own ideas? Whatever happened to Pan’s childhood friend Tara? And if Pan and the others become galactic fugitives, will the immense pressure of life on the run threaten to tear them apart just in time for the biggest heist of their lives?


With equal parts personal drama, political resonance, and brilliantly colorful sci-fi action, Hannah Templer’s Cosmoknights follows a ragtag group of queer outer-space gladiators as they fight to escape—and possibly overthrow—the neo-medieval patriarchy that rules their universe.
Hannah Templer is a cartoonist and has worked as a colorist, cover artist, and interior artist on titles such as GLOW, Doctor Who, TMNT, Samurai Jack, Jem and the Holograms, Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider, and the upcoming Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith. She enjoys life with her trusty dog, Thistle, and grumpy cat, Noodle, and plays tabletop role-playing games as often as she can.


 
"This sequel raises the stakes... in exciting action scenes and sweet romantic subplots. The illustrations offer bursts of hot colors and beautiful sequences that highlight the queer, multiracial cast. A gripping feminist space adventure." Kirkus Reviews
